Impact The 26-year-old pinch hit for LaMonte Wade against lefty Steven Okert in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Astros. Schmitt remained in the game and played first base for the first time in his big-league career, though he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Wade has recorded zero hits across 18 plate appearances in five games, which has opened the door for Schmitt to get more opportunities against southpaws moving forward.

Competing for utility role Schmitt went 2-for-3 in Saturday's spring game and is hitting .222 with a .722 OPS in six games. He's battling Brett Wisely, Osleivis Basabe, Jake Lamb and Christian Koss for a uti...

Impact Schmitt is likely the favorite and the Giants could keep two backup infielders on the roster. Schmitt hit .252 with six homers and a .760 OPS with the Giants last season. Schmitt may have the best glove of the group at third base which could help his case.

Knocks homer in win Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Schmitt went yard in the fourth inning to give the Giants a 4-2 lead. The infielder has gone 6-for-14 (.429) with four RBI since he rejoined the major-league roster last week. For the season, he's posted a .240/.267/.460 slash line with six homers, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 36 major-league contests.

Returns to bench role Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Schmitt made three consecutive starts at third base after being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the week, but he'll likely shift back into a utility role moving forward after Matt Chapman (personal) returned from the paternity list Saturday. Over his multiple stints with the Giants this season, Schmitt has slashed .237/.257/.433 across 101 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 25-year-old spent the past couple weeks in the minors but will rejoin the big club Tuesday as Matt Chapman heads to the paternity list. Schmitt has a .206/.255/.324 slash line in 277 plate appearances in the majors this season.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors The Giants optioned Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Schmitt owns a .553 OPS across 38 plate appearances since the start of August and has seen his playing time diminish over the past several weeks. He'll now head back to Sacramento to receive regular reps while Marco Luciano comes up from Triple-A to take Schmitt's place as infield depth.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps slump Thursday Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-0 win against Atlanta.

Impact Schmitt increased San Francisco's lead from 2-0 to 4-0 with his two-run blast in the sixth inning. He finished the game with three hits -- as many as he had tallied over his previous 12 games and 31 at-bats combined. Schmitt's five homers through 80 plate appearances this year are as many as he hit over 277 plate appearances in 2023, but he's also carrying a poor .208/.225/.442 slash line on the season.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pops fourth homer Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Impact Schmitt's lone hit of the game opened the scoring in the second inning, and it was all the run support Blake Snell needed in his no-hitter. Over four contests since rejoining the major-league roster, Schmitt has gone 3-for-11 with two home runs and a triple. The infielder doesn't have an immediate path to everyday playing time, especially when he has Brett Wisely and Marco Luciano to compete with in the middle infield. For the season, Schmitt is slashing .231/.255/.519 with four homers, eight RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 55 plate appearances.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks homer in win Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Schmitt made an early impact Sunday, going deep off Austin Gomber in the first inning. The homer was Schmitt's third of the season and his first since he was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. The infielder has added a .244/.271/.511 slash line with seven RBI, seven runs scored, one double, one triple and no stolen bases over 48 plate appearances in the majors this season. He's an option all over the infield, but Schmitt is most likely to share second base as a short-side platoon partner with Brett Wisely until Thairo Estrada (wrist) returns.

Called up, starting The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento. Per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, Schmitt will bat eighth and play second base Friday against Colorado.

Impact With Thairo Estrada (wrist) being placed on the 10-day IL, Schmitt will join the Giants' active roster and provide additional assistance in the middle infield. In 12 big-league games this season, Schmitt is slashing .220/.238/.390 with a pair of homers.

Retreating to bench Schmitt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Schmitt started at shortstop in each of the previous four games and went 5-for-12 with a pair of home runs, but he still looks to be stuck in a part-time role with the Giants. He benefited from Thairo Estrada missing three of the previous four games with a thumb injury, resulting in Brett Wisely picking up starts at the keystone on all three occasions. Wisely and Estrada should serve as the Giants' primary middle infielders now that both are healthy, and Schmitt could be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Sacramento once shortstop Nick Ahmed (wrist) makes his way back from the 10-day injured list.

Homers twice in finale Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Schmitt was responsible for all of San Francisco's offense in the loss. He got the Giants on the board with a homer off Ryan Pepiot in the sixth inning, just his second in his last 86 games, before adding another longball in the fifth. After going 26-for-76 (.342) with a .851 OPS in his first 20 major-league games, Schmidt struggled to a .147 average (26-for-177) in his final 70 contests. The 24-year-old infielder will wrap up his rookie campaign with a .206/.255/.324 slash line, five homers, 30 RBI and two stolen bases across 277 plate appearances.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact J.D. Davis (shoulder) will be unavailable for the final weekend of the regular season, so Schmitt returns to the active roster as an option at third base. The 24-year-old has batted just .202/.254/.300 with three homers and two steals through his first 88 major-league games this season.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors Schmitt was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Schmitt loses his roster spot with Michael Conforto (hamstring) returning from the injured list. The rookie infielder has not been able to get things going offensively to this point at the big-league level, putting up just a .553 OPS in 88 contests.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Sunday Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Schmitt had started at third base or shortstop in each of the past eight games, going 6-for-24 with a home run, three doubles and two walks. Though he's swung the bat well of late, Schmitt is likely to fade into more of a part-time role in the San Francisco infield with Brandon Crawford recently returning from the injured list and with J.D. Davis returning to the lineup Saturday after missing one game with a sore hand.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ends homer drought Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact Schmitt homered twice over his first three major-league games, but that was it for his power until Sunday. The homer drought lasted 71 contests. The infielder is at a .199/.252/.292 slash line with 26 RBI, 23 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles through 236 plate appearances this season. Schmitt appears to have a lock on a short-side platoon role at third base while providing cover around the infield as a strong defender, but he hasn't hit well enough (2-for-19 in August) to justify a full-time role for a team in the wild-card chase.

Returns to bench role Schmitt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Schmitt started at three different infield positions in each of the last three games, going hitless across eight at-bats. Since June 19, Schmitt has mustered a .086/.202/.111 slash line over a stretch of 37 games. Though he's been valued for his defensive work, Schmitt's lack of production at the plate over a prolonged stretch looks as though it'll force him into a utility role even while the Giants are without Brandon Crawford (forearm). The Giants signed veteran Paul DeJong on Wednesday, and he's expected to take over as the team's everyday shortstop sans Crawford.
